I've done every devotional been every place emotional
Trying to hear a new word from God and I think it's very odd
That while I attempt to help myself, my Bible sits upon my shelf
With every promise I could ever need

And the word was and the word is
And the word will be
And the word was and the word is
And the word will be

People are getting fit for Truth like they're buying a new tailored suit
Does it fit across the shoulders, well it fade when it gets older
We throw ideas that aren't in style in the Salvation Army pile
And search for something more to meet our needs

And the word was and the word is
And the word will be
And the word was and the word is
And the word will be

And the word was and the word is
And the word will be
And the word was and the word is
And the word will be

I think it's time I rediscover all the ground that I have covered
Like seek Ye first what a verse
We are pressed but not crushed, perplexed but don't despair
We are persecuted but not abandoned

We are no longer slaves, we are daughters and sons
And when we are weak we are very strong
And neither death nor life nor present nor future nor depth nor height
Can keep us from the love of Christ
And the word I need is the word that was
That put on flesh to dwell with us, in the beginning

And the word was and the word is
And the word will be
And the word was and the word is
And the word will be

And the word was and the word is
And the word will be
And the word was and the word is
And the word was and the word is
And the word was and the word is
And the word will be

The old word is the new word is
The old word is the new word is
The old word is the new word is
The new word is the old word
The old word is the new word, oh

You're the word I need
You're the word I need
You're the word I need
You're the word I need
